Mount Etna Half day Tour
(approx. from 09:00am to 03:00pm)
Ready for a completely different kind of off-road Jeep tour adventure? Discover one of the most active volcanoes in the world with our Etna Jeep Tour. We will pick you up at your accommodation with one of our off-road vehicles (including the popular Land Rover 110) and heading in the direction of the volcano.
Mount Etna Tours 4×4
We are passing idyllic Sicilian villages and some of Sicily’s most famous wine-growing regions and whilst gaining altitude, you will learn a lot about the country, the population and their culture. You will certainly remember the impressive play of colours of the black lava and the extraordinary vegetation on Mount Etna. As we pass by the lava flows of recent years, we will see centuries-old forests and we will stop at some of the most beautiful places on Mount Etna. During an easy but impressive hike of approx. 45 min. on the craters in the surrounding, you will see the unique landscape with the old and new lava.
Etna South-east Crater
Of course, a competent English-speaking guide will accompany you during this guided trip on Mount Etna and you will learn a lot about the history of the volcano with its myths and the current situation there. You will continue the adventurous jeep tour on an off-road track through the pine forests and you will get further insight into the unique and diverse flora and fauna which inhabits the lava rocks.
Like the speleologists, you will be equipped with helmets and flashlights to explore one of the famous lava caves on foot with your guide. These caves were created by a lava flow and they still have special properties. Centuries ago, residents close to Mount Etna used these caves for the ice production.
As the last stop of the half-day tour we will drive to the hardened lava flows, which destroyed the local ski lift during the last big eruption.
Mount Etna Full day Tour
(approx. from 09:00am to 06:30pm)
If you decide to do the Full Day Jeep Tour, a typical Sicilian lunch awaits you in a mountain chalet on Mount Etna. With traditional antipasti, pasta of the season, and a delicious dessert, accompanied by water, Sicilian wine, and a good coffee, you will get to know the local cuisine.
The Alcantara Gorges
Well-rested, the adventure continues to the famous Alcantara River. Along the way, we drive through the renowned Sicilian mountain village “Castiglione di Sicilia.” There, you will get to see one of Sicily’s most famous wine-growing regions and enjoy an impressive view along the wine route.
Gole dell’Alcantara
Arriving at our destination, you will experience the beauty of the Gole dell’Alcantara, which were formed thousands of years ago in the north of the volcano by a lava flow. A magical place awaits you with spectacular basalt rock formations and small waterfalls of the Alcantara River.
After an exciting day full of new experiences, we return to your accommodation.

Thank you so much for a great half-day trip to Etna. Davide was fantastic with everything, including motivating my very busy 4 year old to keep walking. I would recommend Go Etna without any hesitation, they were professional, and excellent in every way - I will recommend them to everyone!
